Hunt Club Farm offers fun fall activities, from pumpkin picking to Halloween-themed festivities. Between the lively crowds, friendly staff and photogenic surroundings, Hunt Club Farm’s Harvest Fair continues to be a seasonal favorite.
Whether it’s feeding goats, exploring the pumpkin patch or taking a scenic hayride, the fair captures the essence of fall in every detail. This time of year also brings a variety of pumpkins and seasonal plants for sale, allowing guests to take a piece of autumn home with them.
The fair offers plenty of space to roam and enjoy the scenery, making it enjoyable whether visiting with friends or exploring solo. The animals each have their own personalities, and every turn reveals a charming view or new activity.
Hunt Club Farm’s annual Harvest Fair brings together the nostalgia of fall, the warmth of community and the joy of family-friendly fun. At $18 per person (ages two and under free), admission covers the experience of the petting farm, treewalk adventure and unlimited farm-tour hayrides. Located on London Bridge Road, the farm welcomes guests daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering a seasonal escape filled with local flavor and festive spirit.
“I wanted to bring my wife and daughter out to spend some family time,” visitor Joshua Irizarry said. “It’s my wife’s birthday, so that’s another reason we came out today. I also wanted to show my daughter the cows here!”
Because the Harvest Fair provides excitement for everyone; families, couples and groups of friends gather each year to enjoy pumpkins, live music and cozy autumn weather surrounded by friendly faces and farm animals.
For Irizarry, the goats stood out as the highlight of the day. “They have so much personality and are fun to engage with,” he said, noting that his daughter adored the cows. He also praised the hayride for its scenic route and mentioned the Festival of Fear as a must-visit for adults looking for Halloween thrills. “The workers make sure you’re enjoying your time and make you feel welcomed,” Irizarry said.
Friends Aliya K. and Bryalee B. were drawn to the fair by the beautiful fall weather. “We mainly wanted to look for something to do,” Aliya said. “The weather is really nice today, so we thought it would be nice to come here.” Their favorite attraction was the bird exhibit, which they recommended to new visitors.
“It’s very relaxing, calming and beautiful here,” Bryalee said. “Going to pumpkin patches can be very busy and overwhelming, but coming here, it was very peaceful.”
Hunt Club Farm’s staff also show appreciation for the farm’s welcoming atmosphere. Robin C., who works at the pony rides section, described her experience simply: “Working here is fun and comfortable.” When asked what animals visitors should see first, she recommended the Highland cows and the ponies. Robin used three words to describe the farm: “friendly, fun and beautiful.”
While the event delivers on atmosphere and charm, some areas could benefit from small improvements. Parking can become crowded during peak hours, and certain attractions draw longer lines that might require patience. Additionally, with the farm’s popularity, it can be difficult to find quiet moments during busier weekends.
Between Sept. 27 and Nov. 2, the farm hosts its annual Harvest Fair, a celebration filled with family fun, seasonal treats, and autumn charm. As the leaves change and the cool breeze sets in, visitors can enjoy the fair’s festive atmosphere, then return after dark for the Festival of Fear, which runs through Nov. 2 and brings spooky thrills to complete the Halloween vibe.
This family operated and owned business not only provides fun attractions during the fall, but they also offer “educational field trips … and agriculture-based entertainment” through their “Petting Farm, BirdWalk Aviary, TreeWalk Adventure and pony rides.”
Regarding other seasonal festivals, they have the Haunted Hunt Club Farm, also called the Festival of Fear, Easter Egg Hunt and Spring Fling.
